چکیده
The interaction between 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and rare gas or para-hydrogen samples is studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The comparison between spectra of PTCDA embedded in a neon matrix and spectra attached to large neon clusters shows that these large organic molecules reside on the surface of the clusters when doped by the pick-up technique. PTCDA molecules can adopt different conformations when attached to argon, neon, and para-hydrogen clusters which implies that the surface of such clusters has a well-defined structure without liquid or fluxional properties. Moreover, a precise analysis of the doping process of these clusters reveals that the mobility of large molecules on the cluster surface is quenched, preventing agglomeration and complex formation.

The structure and morphology of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) "lms deposited on Au(1 1 1) surface in ultrahigh vacuum is studied via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In the "rst monolayer, PTCDA molecules form well-ordered domains with two distinct structural phases. The "rst phase is characterized by a `herringbonea arrangement of PTCDA molecules similar to that of a...

متن کاملEnergy level alignment in Au/pentacene/PTCDA trilayer stacks
Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy is used to investigate the energy level alignment and molecular orientation at the interfaces in Au/pentacene/PTCDA trilayer stacks. We deduced a standing orientation for pentacene grown on Au while we conclude a flat lying geometry for PTCDA grown onto pentacene. We propose that the rough surface of polycrystalline Au induces the standing geometry in pent...
